Never heard this one, either, and if I had, I wouldn't connect it to "justice."I didn't mishear it. "We take justice very seriously." For God's sake - lynchings were not "justice." And "round up all the bad guys" is not justice. This man is a lawyer and former prosecutor. Served on the staff of Sen. Cornyn, Gov. Rick Perry, and fmr COS to Sen. Ted Cruz. https://t.co/5KvenTgD7G

I am a native Texan — born and raised here, educated here, and in my 15th term representing TX-30. Not once have I heard anyone here use the reprehensible and insensitive “saying” that @RepChipRoy is referencing. Texans are better than that. Americans are better than that. https://t.co/jdtxaBxBrP

Was McMurtry the model for Kesey' McMurphy? Lonesome Dove was code for Texas justice when I lived there in the early seventies.
ReplyDeleteWatched a movie last night called Galveston. Well worth watching.
ReplyDeleteDidn't realize until now that the widow of the now late Larry McMurtry was also the widow of the late Ken Kesey.
